The Checkatrade Trophy has divided opinion among football fans up and down the country.

While some embrace the fact that it offers their team the chance to play against Premier League youngsters and the opportunities that are on offer to their own young players, others boycott the competition altogether.

It is led to attendances falling across the board ever since the format was changed to that of a group stage last season.

Before Yeovil Town played Exeter City in their opening fixture of the competition last night, Somerset Live caught up with a few Glovers fans to find out their views on the trophy.
